Uppercut Games today announced the release of their highly anticipated game, EPOCH 2, only on the App Store. Sequel to their hugely popular debut game of 2011, EPOCH 2 combines innovative touch-based controls and action packed gameplay with amazing graphics to bring a AAA experience to iOS.
Picking up where the original game left off, players once again take control of the robot guardian, EPOCH, as he treks once more across a war-ravaged country to find the one person he was programmed to protect: the Princess Amelia. Now he must follow a final, desperate lead to reach her, with the two warring robot armies of Omegatroniks and Alphetekk standing in his way. But what surprises await EPOCH when the Princess is finally located? And what will she make of the world she wakes up to?
“We were thrilled with the success of the original EPOCH,” said Uppercut Games co-founder Ed Orman. “People wanted more, and EPOCH 2 delivers!”
Extending EPOCH’s combat systems, EPOCH 2 adds dynamic player and camera movement, and a massively expanded field of play. Dramatic moving levels see the player swinging from ledges, riding speeding trains and juddering elevators, and fighting from moving cargo barges. New abilities – the decisive Smackdown attack, the deadly Melee struggles and a brand new Fast Reload system – combine with new equipment to create a smörgåsbord of new strategies to learn and master.
, each with a unique set of abilities Multiple new boss encounters, and two new modes – Time Trial and Iron Mode – bring new challenges to a campaign that guarantee players will be coming back for more.
“The game looks simply stunning on the new iPad Air.” says Ryan Lancaster, Uppercut Games Technical Director and co-founder. “The new A7 processor allows us to push the limits of what the Unreal Engine 3 can do on a mobile device.”
Bringing AAA blockbuster quality to mobile, EPOCH 2 at last brings players face to face with EPOCH 1’s central mystery: the Princess, Amelia. “The power of Apple’s devices means we can deliver an amazingly life-like console-quality character created with truly next-generation technologies for a mobile game, including a photometric scanned character model and extra-high-detail surface textures, performance-captured facial animation, voice acting and over 20 minutes of fully motion-captured cinematic cutscenes.” adds Lancaster.
EPOCH 2 is available for $5.99 from the App Store. EPOCH 2 is optimized for iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPod Touch 5.
